Description and use
1 What is the drug Nicorette FreshMint Gum and what is it used for?

Description of action
When a patient stops smoking cigarettes and nicotine is no longer regularly supplied to the body, various symptoms resulting from nicotine withdrawal begin to appear, including irritability, anxiety, mood disorders, dizziness and headaches, and sleep disorders. With the help of Nicorette FreshMint Gum, they can be prevented or lessened by delivering small doses of nicotine to the body in a short period of time.
Nicotine contained in Nicorette FreshMint Gum is administered in pure form. Unlike cigarettes, Nicorette FreshMint Gum does not emit harmful tar or carbon dioxide that occurs when tobacco is burned.

Indications for use
Nicorette FreshMint Gum is indicated for the treatment of tobacco dependence by reducing nicotine craving and withdrawal symptoms that occur after smoking cessation.
How to use the drug
3 How to use the drug Nicorette FreshMint Gum

Children and adolescents
Do not use Nicorette FreshMint Gum in people under 18 years of age without a doctor's recommendation. Data on the treatment of people in this age group with Nicorette FreshMint Gum are limited.

Adults and the elderly
The initial dose should be determined individually depending on the patient's nicotine dependence. Usually 8 - 12 gums per day with the appropriate nicotine content are used. Smokers with a low degree of dependence (smoking ≤ 20 cigarettes/day) should start treatment with a dose of 2 mg. Smokers with a high degree of addiction should start treatment with a dose of 4 mg. Do not use more than 24 gums per day.

Smoking cessation
The drug Nicorette FreshMint Gum facilitates smoking cessation for those determined to quit. The gum should be used for at least 3 months. After that, you should begin to gradually wean off the gum. Treatment should be completed when the dose is reduced to 1 - 2 gums per day.

Reducing smoking
The drug Nicorette FreshMint Gum makes it easier to reduce smoking for those unwilling or unable to quit. To lengthen smoking intervals and to maximize the reduction of cigarettes smoked, the gum should be used in between cigarettes when the urge to smoke arises. If a reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked per day is not achieved after 6 weeks, consult a doctor.

Consider trying to stop smoking as soon as possible, but no later than 6 months after starting treatment. If a serious attempt at smoking cessation is not possible within 9 months of starting treatment, consult your doctor.

In general, regular use of gums for longer than 12 months is not recommended. Some former smokers may require longer treatment to avoid a return to smoking. Unused gums should be saved in case nicotine cravings suddenly arise.

Take advice from support groups, as they can refine the process of quitting smoking and help complete therapy successfully.

Temporary abstinence
The drug Nicorette FreshMint Gum helps smokers to temporarily abstain from smoking. The gum should be used during breaks between cigarettes when the urge to smoke arises, such as in places where smoking is prohibited or in other situations where you want to avoid smoking.

Use of gums in combination with patches
Gum can be used alone or in combination with nicotine-containing patches. The use of more than one form of nicotine replacement therapy is beneficial for smokers who have relapsed despite having used NTZ monotherapy in the past, or who have difficulty controlling the urge to light up a cigarette while on monotherapy. Therefore, if necessary, the Nicorette Invisipatch 15 mg/16 h patch and Nicorette FreshMint Gum 2 mg can be used together.
The Nicorette Invisipatch 15 mg/16 h patch should be stuck on in the morning, after waking up, and peeled off after 16 hours, before going to bed. It should be used according to the dosage approved for monotherapy use. Nicorette FreshMint Gum 2 mg should be chewed when feeling a strong desire to smoke a cigarette, not exceeding the maximum daily dose of 15 gums. The gum can be used in this way for a period of 12 weeks, then the use of gum should be gradually reduced. The maximum duration of gum use is 12 months.

How to chew Nicorette FreshMint Gum
The gum should be chewed when you feel the need to smoke a cigarette. The gum is chewed to release nicotine, and then chewing is stopped to allow the nicotine to be absorbed by the oral mucosa. Nicotine swallowed with saliva has no beneficial effect and in excess can irritate the throat or stomach, causing hiccups, for example. Nicorette FreshMint Gum should not be chewed like regular gum continuously and vigorously, as the nicotine is released too intensely. Therefore, Nicorette FreshMint Gum should be chewed slowly, taking regular breaks.

Chewing technique
(1) Chew the gum slowly until you feel the taste.
2) Then stop chewing and keep the gum between the gum and cheek.
3. start chewing again when the taste disappears.
4. This activity should be repeated for 30 minutes. This is the amount of time it takes for all the nicotine contained in the gum to be secreted.

Using more than the recommended dose of Nicorette FreshMint Gum.
Overuse of nicotine, either from nicotine replacement products and/or from smoking cigarettes, can cause symptoms of overdose. The risk of poisoning from chewing gum ingestion is very low, as nicotine absorption in the absence of chewing is slow and incomplete.
Symptoms of nicotine overdose include nausea, vomiting, excessive salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, excessive sweating, headache, dizziness, hearing impairment and significant weakness. After large doses, these symptoms may be accompanied by hypotension, weak and irregular heart rate, difficulty breathing, exhaustion, circulatory collapse and generalized convulsions. Doses of nicotine tolerated by adults during treatment can cause symptoms of severe intoxication in young children and can be fatal.

Keep the drug out of the reach of children. In case of overdose, stop nicotine administration immediately and seek medical help. The doctor will take appropriate symptomatic treatment.
If excessive nicotine is swallowed, activated charcoal reduces the gastrointestinal absorption of nicotine.
If you use too much gum or chew or a child swallows gum, contact your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital, taking the gum pack and this leaflet with you.
